This directory contains the iptables ruleset files, which are assembled by
the iptables component into a filter script for the machine.

There are two types of ruleset files here.  Those beginning "g." are
executed to generate rules to their stdout.  Those beginning "p.", "b." or
"i." are copied into the final script essentially verbatim -- the initial
letter has no functional significance, and is intended only as a guide to
the file's disposition of packets: pass, block (with logging) or ignore.

Ruleset files and generated output should include only the iptables options
and not the command itself; and if no chain is specified, for flexibility,
then the component will add one as appropriate.
